Sam Heughan dreams of James Bond role BANG Showbiz 9/03/2021 Bang Showbiz Sam Heughan dreams of playing James Bond. The 'Outlander' star has been speculated as a potential successor to Daniel Craig – who is set to make his final appearance as the iconic spy in the delayed 25th Bond movie 'No Time To Die' – as 007 and revealed that he would jump at the opportunity if it comes along. Sam said: "I don't think any actor would ever say no. If I was asked to audition for it, I would be delighted." The 40-year-old actor previously tried out for the role of Bond before Craig was cast and recalled the "surreal" experience of seeing a prop from 'The Man with the Golden Gun' as he met with franchise boss Barbara Broccoli.
